The Spotlight

The spotlight was an American weekly newspaper, which from 1975 to 2001 in Washington, DC appeared.

She was the voice of the racist and anti-Semitic organization, Liberty Lobby and was regarded as the central organ of publication of the extreme right in the United States for the dissemination of hate propaganda.

The last claims to be published in a circulation of about 100,000 copies at 90,000 subscribers spread sheet, among other things repeatedly insinuations of an alleged Jewish conspiracy.

The Anti-Defamation League revealed that the assassin of Oklahoma, Timothy McVeigh, had switched ads for Militaria in The Spotlight under the pseudonym T. Tuttle. The newspaper had indeed always striving to look respectable for conservative circles, but ultimately had to even the conservative William F. Buckley, Jr., editor of National Review distances because of the militant anti-Semitism of The Spotlight.

The last issue of The Spotlight was released in June 2001, after a long-standing dispute with the Institute for Historical Review ( IHR) came to the conclusion with the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings.

There are now but a successor publication, which will appear under the name American Free Press. Considerable attention also take conspiracy theories, for example, around the September 11 attacks, and anti-Semitic and racist topics.
